New Find My iPhone beta replaces Google Maps with Apple Maps

Whether or not you feel comfortable with Apple Maps, it seems that Apple will soon be turning to its own in-house mapping service to power the Find My iPhone application. Those using the beta version of iCloud, are now seeing the location of their lost iPhone appear on Apple Maps instead of Google Maps. While Apple Maps originally launched with a plethora of problems and mistakes, including the mislabeling of local points of interests, Apple has worked hard to fix it.

As we recently told you, Apple has been updating its mapping service daily, at around midnight EDT, in order to improve the application. The company has also been seeking new API engineers for Apple Maps, hinting at upcoming improvements to the system.

Yea but that is because Google started mapping when it was a humble start up that wanted to change the world. Apple started mapping when it was a giant douche bag which claimed it could do no wrong. I don't know about you, but I'm more willing to give the former a second chance rather than the latter.

I actually think it's pretty accurate. Apple is despised by so many people not because of their products, which are really quite good, but because of their attitude. They always seem to come across as arrogant and snobby. Not a particularly likeable combination.
